Harry Kane MBE

Who would you drop for Kane?

On Thursday I would have played Soldado instead of Ade, along with Kane and see how they played.

Otherwise, not against one of the top teams, but against Saudi Sportswashing Machine I would have considered dropping Mason and playing Erickson in central midfield. If not for Thursday's performance I would have dropped Lamela

I'm not convinced by the idea of Eriksen playing deeper at this stage of his career, he drifts in and out of games too much for me.

If we dropped Lamela or Eriksen there is no need to change formation, so all we are really talking about is whether he starts or comes off the bench.

I actually like Soldado, but I honestly fear he will never truly click for us when it comes to goals

So why drop him after his best performance in a Spurs shirt? The front four really clicked against City, bringing Kane into a functioning unit and in the position where he has been playing well (#10) seems like the best thing for all concerned.

Well the same argument applies to Kane
 
He scored a hat trick playing behind the forward ffs - keep him in that position. He's actually played a few games in the cups alongside Soldado (with him scoring a couple himself) so who knows - a little bit of chemistry may have formed/may ease his transition in to the first team
 
If Harry Kane doesn't start against Saudi Sportswashing Machine, I'll begin to have serious doubts about Poch's sanity...

I am just stunned that some of you are happy to have our most effective attacking player start matches from the bench.
 
Would Eriksen work in a deep 2?? In possession, I'd be happy with him but defensively I'd worry. Kane for me will do a job up top as a false 9, especially if Lamela and Chadli are given instruction to advance past him.

Soldado scored a hat trick against some Europa dross last season but he couldn't transfer that form to the Premier League and I'm not convinced that Kane has suddenly become a world beater either.

going by the above.. bring Kane in ahead of Eriksen.

According to those stats Paulinho is also superior to Eriksen :-k

Also, shouldn't Kane be on -1 PL goals after his og against Sunderland!

I really don't think that it is in his best long term interests to chop and change the position he plays. He has performed brilliantly behind the striker and surely, if we want to make his transition to the first team as smooth as possible, that is where he should get games.

Yep I agree with you and I've not suggested otherwise, I was just pointing out that no matter where Poch wants to play him someone somewhere will have something to say
